The delegates, led by MP Zaid Al-Atoum, emphasized
the correlation between SDG 17, which revitalizes the global partnership for
sustainable development, and the other SDGs, particularly SDG 16, which
promotes just, peaceful, and inclusive societies.
Atoum briefed participants in the forum on the
Jordanian perspective regarding the role of parliament in advancing legislation
supporting the SDGs and efficiently exercising its oversight function in this
area.
“Without a parliament that is capable of exercising
its legislative responsibilities, there will be no effective oversight to
achieve any of the desired SDGs,” he added, pointing to some of Jordan’s SDGs
achievements and areas that still need to be developed, primarily those related
to poverty and unemployment.
The Kingdom’s Voluntary National Review 2022 was also
presented during the forum.
